After pondering the other housemates’ incredible ability to sleep through the grating, annoying Tardis-crossed-with-pneumatic-drill noise of the Big Brother alarm – for more than an hour – Gerry and Ziggy’s thoughts turned to Chanelle.

Starting off with musings about the age gap between her and Ziggy Gerry went on to say: “You’ve said some very cruel things to her … you’re older and you have to be more calm,” adding that it’s important to take the blonde – and her tantrums – with a pinch of salt.

But Ziggy was resolute about the two of them not being compatible, confessing: “I think we’re more friends than anything and I’d like someone like yourself to explain these things to her.”

Gerry’s response was sympathetic yet realistic, pointing out that although he can be a calming influence, for everything positive he says Chanelle will hear three negative things from other people.

“We’ve just been bickering, bickering, bickering and this is an experience we get to enjoy once,” said Ziggy to his confidant later.

Gerry replied: “This is an experience in a way you’ve shared … you’ve had the moral support of each other during the downs.”

Resigning himself to how dumping Chanelle is likely to land him in hot water one way or another, Ziggy said: “If two people go into something they both know what they’re getting into. I genuinely care for the girl … but I know I’m going to come out as the hate person number one.”
